Innovative Shock-Absorbing Material Ushers in a New Stage of Sports Protection

[Shenzhen, August 19, 2024] — EUDE FOAM announced today that its newly developed "Shock-Absorbing Material and Its Preparation Method and Application" has received an invention patent from the National Intellectual Property Administration (Patent No.: 202111533679.7). The material, featuring a unique multi-layered structure and micron-level spiral technology, offers exceptional shock absorption capabilities, making it highly suitable for use in clothing, sports equipment, and protective gear, with particularly outstanding performance in soft tissue protection.

Overlooked Soft Tissue Protection

During physical activities, certain body parts, such as the chest, move significantly. This is especially true in intense activities like running or jumping, where lack of adequate protection can lead to injuries. Studies show that 50% of surveyed women are unaware that vigorous chest movement during exercise can cause permanent damage to the elastic fibers in the breasts, leading to sagging over time. Current shock-absorbing materials on the market, typically made from sponge or rubber, do not provide optimal protection.

Benefits of Quality Shock-Absorbing Materials

1. Reduces Injury Risk: Soft tissues like muscles, tendons, and ligaments are prone to injury from impact or      overstretching. Effective shock absorption helps disperse and absorb impact forces, lowering the likelihood of soft tissue damage.

2. Enhances Athletic Performance: By minimizing unnecessary vibrations, athletes can convert energy more      efficiently, improving overall performance.

3. Aids Recovery: Shock absorption is crucial not only during exercise but also in the recovery phase, as it      helps reduce muscle fatigue and accelerates recovery, enabling athletes to return to training or competition more quickly.

4. Increases Comfort: Quality shock absorption significantly enhances the wearer's comfort, reducing      discomfort from prolonged activity and allowing athletes to focus more on  their performance.

5. Prevents Chronic Injuries:      Long-term repetitive vibrations can lead to chronic injuries, such as  stress fractures or cumulative trauma. Effective protection measures help  prevent these chronic issues.

Cutting-Edge Shock Absorption Technology for Enhanced Sports Health

Through tireless efforts, the EUDE R&D team has successfully developed a new composite shock-absorbing material. This material comprises a surface layer, a shock-absorbing functional layer, and a base layer. The shock-absorbing functional layer is enhanced with micron-level spirals that effectively reduce soft tissue oscillation during physical activity, delivering outstanding shock absorption. Additionally, optimizing the design of these spirals ensures more uniform distribution within the functional layer, further enhancing product comfort.

Innovative Design and Advanced Manufacturing Techniques

EUDE uses unique designs to optimize user experience. The spirals used in the shock-absorbing functional layer are made from materials such as polyurethane-modified epoxy resin or polyurethane-modified acrylic resin, ensuring the material's stability and durability. The spiral's pitch is precisely controlled between 200 and 1,000 microns, with 5 to 10 turns, facilitating better absorption and dispersion of impact forces. The material's elasticity modulus is 10 to 100 times that of the resin matrix, enabling superior shock absorption.

Advanced manufacturing techniques ensure product quality.

 During production, the spirals can be fabricated using 3D printing or injection molding, precisely positioned with magnetic site molds, and then the resin matrix is injected into the mold to complete the shock-absorbing functional layer. The surface layer features a short fiber-reinforced elastomer material with amide groups, enhancing the material's resistance to friction and washing. The base layer, made from a flexible elastomer with a Tg below 30°C, ensures comfort during wear.

Comprehensive Upgrade in Sports Protection

EUDE FOAM materials have already gained favor with international top sports brands, offering excellent impact resistance and robust joint protection for athletes. This new invention patent further focuses on soft tissue protection, filling a market gap. By incorporating this new shock-absorbing material into bras, sportswear, and protective gear, it not only effectively reduces joint impact during exercise but also prevents soft tissue injuries, providing comprehensive protection for athletes.
